WSDOT: Marsh transfer delayed until summer, at earliest

Jan 22, 2019

The transfer of Unocal property at the Edmond Marsh will not happen until summer, at the earliest. The City of Edmonds had hoped for it to happen in January or February.

"The next steps for the property moving through the process and completing the transfer to WSDOT is that the dual phase extraction system that Chevron has put in place is doing what it needs to do to achieve the necessary cleanup levels," said Hadley Romero of WSDOT.

"The consent decree from Ecology will be put in place when the property achieves its cleanup levels, which will be summer 2019 at the earliest."
